2008 A3 ECU fault
I need some help,
My 2008 A3 2.0Tfsi S Line was left sitting whilst i was offshore for 4 weeks. Upon return it wouldn't start & numerous warning lights displayed on the dashboard.
The engine would turn over, ruling out a flat battery. So I towed it to a local garage who plugged in the diagnostics computer which returned with "No communication to ECU"
I've since towed it to the local Audi garage who will be looking at it tomorrow. Unfortunately the warranty expired last September and I will be footing the bill for this repair.
My question is, has anyone heard of this kind of problem before? And leaving a car sitting for 4 weeks shouldn't be a problem, is there anyway Audi would be likely to assist with the repair?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,

I guess when the car is used regularly this water gets moved about enough to drain elsewhere. Worth checking drainage holes in the engine bay & keep them clear!
